In Defence of Christianity examines the early Christian apologists in
their context in thirteen articles divided in four parts. Part I
provides an introduction to apology and apologetics in antiquity, an
overview of the early Christian apologists, and an outline of their
argumentation. The nine articles of Part II each cover one of the
early apologists: Aristides, Justin, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus,
the author of the Letter to Diognetus, Clement of Alexandria,
Tertullian and Minucius Felix. Part III contextualises the apologists
by providing an English translation of contemporary pagan criticism of
Christianity and by discussing this critique. Part IV consists of a
single article discussing how Eusebius depicted and used the
apologists in his Ecclesiastical History.
